CM Reviews Key Urban Projects to Ease Traffic in Bhubaneswar & Cuttack

Odisha CM Majhi recently reviewed major infrastructure projects underway in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, led by the Works Department, with a focus on easing urban traffic and boosting connectivity.

Key developments include an elevated corridor from Jaydev Vihar to Nandankanan, Daya West Canal Road, three flyovers at Kalpana Square, State Museum, and Sishubhawan Square, along with an underpass at AG Square.

Work is also in progress on the left parallel road connecting Institute of Mathematics to Ekamra Kanan via Pathara Gadia, Utkal Hospital, and Rail Vihar. Upcoming right access roads will link Damana to Press Chhak, Kalarahanga to Barimund, and Kelucharan Park to Barimund.

An inner ring road for Bhubaneswar is planned to further enhance the city’s traffic flow. The CM noted that these projects aim to significantly ease congestion across the capital.

About 366 families will be displaced due to these developments, and the government will soon announce a rehabilitation package.

The meeting was attended by Works Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan, Housing and Urban Development Minister Krushna Chandra Mohapatra, Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja, Development Commissioner Anu Garg, and other senior officials.
